yes ,Glycogen is a polysaccharide.
It is a major storage form of carbohydrate in animal.found mainly in liver and muscle.It is a highly branched form of amylopectin .Alfa-1,6 branching point is occur every eight to ten D- glucose residues.

∙ 12y agoGlycogen is not a monosaccharide. Glycogen is a carbohydrate and specifically a polysaccharide. This polysaccharide is made up of glucose monomers and is a storage carbohydrate in animals. This is not present in plant forms. Plants store starch.

Is water a monosaccharide?
Salt is sodium chloride (NaCl) not a saccharide.
Is a monosaccharide or polysaccharide bigger?
"Mono" means one "Poly" means many For any given sugar (saccharide), a polysaccharide would be larger.
What kind of substance is chitin?
Chitin is a polysaccharide that is made up of many monosaccharides. In this case, the monosaccharide subunits are N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.
Carbohydrates are polymers formed of structural units called?
saccharide units>>> sugars
Is coffee a monosaccharide?
No coffee is not monosaccharide but it is a tannin.
Is water a monosaccharide?
Salt is sodium chloride (NaCl) not a saccharide.
How do the prefixes of the -saccharide words relate to the structure of the sugar?
Scientists also use the word saccharide to describe sugars. If there is only one sugar molecule, it is called a monosaccharide. If there are two, it is a disaccharide. If there are three, it is a trisaccharide. You get the idea.

What is saccharide?
Saccharides are sugars * A monosaccharide (e.g. glucose, fructose) is the smallest possible sugar unit * A disaccharide is two monosaccharide molecules bonded together e.g. sucrose consists of one molecule of glucose and one of fructose * A polysaccharide is a chain of monosaccharides; the chain may be branched (e.g. glycogen) or unbranched (e.g. cellulose)
Is a monosaccharide or polysaccharide bigger?
"Mono" means one "Poly" means many For any given sugar (saccharide), a polysaccharide would be larger.
What are the 2 suffixes that the scientific sugar names end with?
One of the suffixes is -saccharide as in monosaccharide which means one single sugar, and the other one is-ose
How many monosaccharide molecules are needed to construct a disaccharide?
It takes two mono-saccharides to form a di-saccharide; you should recognize that the prefix "di" means two.
Does the human diet have many foods which are made up of only one saccharide type?
monosaccharide - glucose, fructose, disaccharides - maltose, lactose, sucrose polysaccherides - starch, cellulose.
What kind of substance is chitin?
Chitin is a polysaccharide that is made up of many monosaccharides. In this case, the monosaccharide subunits are N-acetyl-D-glucosamine.
What does starch end up as?
Starch is a polysaccharide ie. a very complex carbohydrate. Enzymes break it down into a di-saccharide - maltose. Another enzymes then converts this into the monosaccharide (simple sugar), glucose.
